Furthermore, European standard [5] defines, describes and specifies the main characteristics of the voltage at a network user's supply terminals in public LV, MV and HV networks under normal operating conditions. According to [6], power quality and voltage distortion measurements are carried out by high accuracy measuring equipment of class A. In MV and HV grids this measuring equipment is commonly connected to secondary side of IVTs installed within the substations. So, an overall accuracy of the measurement depends on the accuracy of IVTs. The accuracy requirements in [6] are defined only for the measuring equipment but not for IVTs. The standard for IVTs [7] defines the accuracy limits at rated frequency, but it doesn’t define the accuracy limits at higher frequencies. The accuracy of IVTs for frequencies higher than the nominal frequency is usually not known. It is therefore difficult to specify an overall accuracy not only for harmonic voltage measurements but also for measurement of any kind of transient containing a wide harmonic spectrum. Literature survey [8]-[17] showed that conventional IVTs may have significant difference between the accuracy at rated frequency and the accuracies at higher frequencies. Therefore, a frequency response of IVTs in the concerned range of frequency should be known to use them for harmonic measurements in power system. Different measuring setups and calculation procedures for frequency response of IVTs are presented in [18]-[21]. Significant differences between IVT ratio at rated frequency and at higher frequencies can be observed, caused by resonances within the IVT. Also, a little research has been conducted concerning the phase angle characteristics of IVTs operating with non-sinusoidal waveforms. To determine the behaviour of the IVT’s ratio and phase angle at higher frequencies two separate tests should be performed: frequency response test and harmonic distortion test.
